The Little Prince in the Ossuary

00003 The Little Prince of the Charnel House

# Procurement (2), Camp Roberts

The procurement mission was only initiated after the process of pottery exercises, tactical movements, basic reception calls, and mental education. In fact, this is just an appetite. There were a lot of people who left when the vehicle left. We still don't know what they were thinking. I would have read it if I had a high rank of leadership skills such as insights and waves.

Operation AI, who reacted to subconscious, printed this help in order to think about skills.

AI Tip (Insight Grade 4): You have extra experience that is not currently being used. EXP is consumed when learning a skill, and the player's basic stats are also enhanced by learning a skill. Knowing skills without prior knowledge requires a lot of experience. EXP can also be used to simply determine the existence of a specific skill. If you have sufficient prior knowledge and experience with a skill, the required EXP will be reduced when you acquire it. Dictionary knowledge can be obtained through books or friendly NPCs. Any other skills you acquired in the Chariot play will reduce the amount of experience required to earn again depending on the number of acquisitions. Depending on the situation, even if you spend a lot of experience, it may be beneficial to acquire skills with no prior knowledge at all. The choice is yours.

I know it.

The boy opened his list of skills. Skills that do not know exist are not marked at all. There was a way to confirm the existence of the related technology by including a specific keyword, but in that case, the control personality will consume experience points as warned. It also requires several times more experience to acquire that skill. This is called the Unknown Penalty.

For example, a player can acquire a high level of skill in mechanical engineering without any probability. Instead, it consumes a lot of experience. You may need to get it from damages, but the advantage was that you could get it immediately if you needed a skill that was hard to get.

However, with the exception of some higher skills that require certain skill acquisitions under prerequisite conditions.

Another advantage for players over NPCs is the notion of winning.

The technology obtained at least once in the previous chariot was not subject to the Unknown Penalty. Rather, depending on the number of skills learned, a differential Talent Advantage was applied. This means you can learn again with a small amount of EXP. However, these benefits only apply to ratings where you have learned the same skill once. If it was best to learn from the tram up to the 6th grade, it means that there is no benefit from the 7th grade.

In addition to this talent advantages, the additional effect of achieving the challenge was the only benefit for the multiplayer.

The boy distributed his EXP preferentially to combat skills. As it is an essential skill, I learned many times, so I was able to upgrade it with a small amount of experience. Of course, it also meant that there were as many worlds as the boy had ended with the Dead End before this round.

Grade 9 Melee Combat, Grade 10 Melee Weapons Skill, Grade 8 Personal Weapons Skill.

As I was on the move, Corporal Elliott, a U.S. soldier in charge of maintenance, was writing something down on a notebook on a green cover. According to the date stamp at the top, it looks like a diary. Corporal Chan noticed that he was going to stare at you and was embarrassed.

“I don't know much about the manners of other countries, but I don't like to look at them that way. ”

“Begging your pardon. That was reckless. ”

“... Well, it's nothing. ”

The corporal covers the notebook and crashes. It appears to be a supply item.

In the corner of the field of view, the function notification was blinking. Time Acceleration. When you want to move to a specific point or shorten the time to the start of a mission, time in virtual reality flows faster.

The situation in between is determined by the contextual operations of Operation AI and is provided in the form of a journal if there is anything the player needs to know. That is, time acceleration is another expression of the progress of the journal format.

However, in the latter half, it was less likely to use time acceleration in the early half. It was because it was a time when we couldn't ignore the benefits of small events and relationships. There was a man who was still talking to me.

“Hey, kid. What's your name?"

The Soldier in the Other Place asks. Based on the skin color, it was meso. In the United States, called the furnace of race, several races have emerged, particularly as the United States military, which is highly racially diverse. The name tag is not a typical Anglo-American name either.

Guilherme

The spelling is recognizable, but I'm curious about the pronunciation, so only the hologram breaks the string. It meant the name of a language format that the player did not know.

“It's winter.”

“Gear?”

“It's Korean for Winter. ”

“Somehow it sounds like my name. ”

The boy pointed to the name tag and asked.

“How do you read? ”

The soldier noticed that it was fun. Curious about the psychology, Grade 4 Insight works.

Everyone seems surprised to look alone when they are moistened or tense. He seems to think he's got the guts. (To reduce the probability of errors by 72%/error, higher grades of insights and findings need to be corrected.)

It is, isn't it? within the scope of common sense. The soldier replied.

“You can call me Guillermi. ”

“Private Guillermi. ”

“Just call me Guillermi. ”

Your comrades grin. It was because the translation of the Korean name "Nim" was passed on to SIR. I'm not mocking, I'm complaining.

In fact, we didn't have a long time to talk. It was only five kilometers away, so soon the outline of the village began to appear. It's just a distant landscape, bitch. There has been a stir in the refugee volunteers. Private Guillermi sighs heavily.

“That's creepy. I was offended by the lockdown, but it's like that. ”

Lockdown means no going out or staying out. It is usually a concept of punishment for military violations. However, all soldiers were essentially unable to enter and exit the territory at this time.

Namhae's fleet ran down a road off the road to the left. Since the gas station was just south of the village, the line ran as if through the town.

I see the gas station cover. Two downward bending blue and red bars were able to read the intersection of the famous refinery Chevron with overlaid shaped marks. Corporal Elliot pulls the key out of his arms and unlocks the gun carrier. A metal frame locked with a gun.

“You've been pre-trained, but you can't run away. in case you get caught on a patrol in the east, you'll be killed without warning. There's no chance of getting past the blockade safely now that Dongwon has fallen. Make sure you follow my lead. In some cases, it may be immediate disposal at the site. Do you all understand?”

The refugees nod with a dark look.

Several infectious variants protrude from the village, hearing the movement of the fleet. The soldier sitting in the Humvee's Battery, in the lead vehicle, immediately fired. However, you fired your personal firearm, not the heavy machine gun on the turret. The silencer hangs.

The roaring mutants groan in disfigurement. I was not normal just by looking at the running posture, but the speed was terribly fast. They stood up, gunned down, and tried to keep going. Like normal people, pain and bleeding alone could not stop the movement properly.

“Sit down, it's dangerous. We'll figure it out in front of you. ”

Corporal Elliot grumbles, but the refugees never listen. Private Blake grunts, another soldier across the street.

“The San Miguel family was introduced early, but there were few mutants, so they welcomed us as soon as we arrived. ”

“Must have flowed in from somewhere else. ”

Private Guillermi grumbles, pointing his gun out of the handrail and looking out.

Soon the line stopped. As the slow-looking tanks crawled into the gas station, refugees were given weapons such as firearms, Great Swords and Jungle Plots. Despite his reasonably sane selection of good people, he was vigilant that someone might cause a crash. The boy also received a weapon. The blade was surprisingly sharp with a power wheel. As I was passing by, I saw the wheel work, and the spark was the level of firework powder sold as a toy.

“Get off!”

With a low shout, the refugees step out of the vehicle with soldiers leading them. Soldiers took charge of the perimeter as predetermined, and only the soldiers in charge of the leadership proceeded to check the numbers of the refugees. Meanwhile, strange voices are heard from the gas station.

“Damn, I can't get a lock on this card. What do I do with this?”

One of the sergeants put his hand under the helmet and scratched his head as if it was a problem. Sitting on his shoulders, a handful of dandruff, I could almost see it from a distance. The consumables, such as shampoo, were not properly supplied. Or just lazy.

“I will proceed as planned. If it is safe to do so, remove road obstacles as much as possible to call the truck, otherwise fill the duffel bag with supplies provided by the individual and return. There's an extra duffel bag, so it's okay to go back and forth as long as it's dark. We will evaluate how enthusiastic you are about this mission and pay you differentially. Please do your best. ”

The refugees nod, noticing.

“Then let's go. We'll take the back. Please take the lead in order. ”

Soldiers fall back. It was agreed in advance by the base commander and the refugee representatives. It was that they could not afford the loss of the U.S. military in a difficult situation, and there were some complaints from refugees when this issue was published. The current volunteers were willing to take on all those conditions and take on the mission.

# Public service ads, first half of 2040, KBS

Old neighborhood, fallen aqueducts. The screen illuminates the old man who picks up scrap paper. Worn sleeves, swayed by the autumn wind. The wind is brewing. The marks of needlessly stitched stitches. It limps during salt and oil. Haven't sucked in a long time. A passing girl looks up and grabs her nose. It stinks. The old man is embarrassed. It appears on the screen as a lonely thought, a text in my mind.

But if you want to sell this and eat something....

The sphere changes. Deep focus. The slopes. The screen shining from top to bottom. The old man tries to come up small. It's not easy. Compared to Rikka with the discarded paper, the slimmer in body is highlighted. The sun sets behind my back. It symbolizes the twilight of life. A lonely atmosphere and humble surrounding landscape imply a poor and difficult life. Older audiences would be good for empathy. A loving voice of a subsequent female narrator.

“86 years old this year. Park Woo-cheol picks up scrap paper and goes on living. As of 2040, the government estimates the lowest cost of living alone will be ₩ 165,053. The price goes up every year, and the national pension, which has been depleted of funds, has been in place for years. The lives of the elderly in Korea are very difficult. ”

The old man has finally climbed up the slopes. Close-up sweat on the forehead. Small creases. Toggle screen again. The owner of the junk shop distinguishes waste paper. Paper is not all the same value. An old man anxiously waits next to him. The owner counts Zec, 13,325 won. Hanging next to Lear Cars, there are small quantities of more valuable junk such as aluminum cans and rusted iron. Even after weighing down the stock price, plus the waste paper portion, it is a little more than 20,000 won. The kind-hearted owner just charges 20,000 won. The old man was very grateful.

The voice of the narrator flows again.

“At least Woo-cheol Park is better off. There aren't many junk stores in Seoul that are permitted by the Waste Law. Many older people who want to sell scrap paper can't sell it, because they're closing more doors because they don't make much money. You just have to rely on an annuity for a short time. ”

Now, after a late meal, the old man lies in a narrow room with few crabs. It's early to go to sleep, but there's nothing to do. It breaks down when I mess with an old TV, but it won't come out. Asking me to sleep isn't easy. The room is too small to expand, and the old house is cold in the autumn wind. Cover and curl the duvet. The old man's thoughts flow through the screen.

"We should save briquettes for winter…….

It's not about saving, it's about survival. If you don't, you won't survive.

What would a swimmer be doing right now…….

The old man thinks of his daughter. Eyes that are fully zoomed in. The image of his raised daughter is reflected. The narrator was still kind, but only kind, and explained in a voice that felt good.

“Everyone in the Republic of Korea knows the parents' heart, even if they have children they don't want to lean on. It's a tough world, and it's hard to live alone without your parents as a burden. I don't want to burden you. But is this really the right thing to do? ”

The screen changes again. You can see technicians building facilities as they sweat, and doctors discussing with scientists in bags. Bright atmosphere dramatically contrasted with previous footage. Human brains float on screens viewed by scientists and doctors. Bioelectrical signals are indicated by bright light.

What comes to mind in a row are people smiling happily in all kinds of different landscapes.

A young woman soaking her feet in the valley and soaking in the summer sun. Subtitles by Ahn Mi-young, 92 years old. Spring Flower Garden, a young man walking in the breeze. Subtitles are 88 years old, the oldest. In addition, many elderly people enjoy different seasons, unlimited happiness and youth that cannot exist.

“Transform your national pension into retirement insurance. It's not a time to live, it's an age where anyone over 65 can abandon the body and attain the freedom of mind, unlimited happiness. South Korea's post-mortem insurance guarantees people a post-mortem life. ”

The screen now cross-edits the sad appearance of the elderly Park Woo-cheol and the happy appearance of the myriad of people that exist in virtual reality.

“You don't have to insist on living in a reality that leads to anxiety and pain every day. Do not be afraid to excise the upper quadrant. The chance of surgical failure is lower than the chance of a plane crashing. Our world-renowned life support and nervous system connectors help keep your brain healthy for longer than life expectancy. If virtual reality is unfamiliar, try to request a full experience. You can decide and experience the world you want to live in. Virtual reality experiences are open to the public 24/7. ”

The experience facilities look neat and tidy. Old people who come to Samsamoa experience the virtual reality by wearing a connector. Awesome. Great. The elders smile with satisfaction. Park Woo-cheol is interposed in the middle. A sunny springtime flower path is caught with the appearance of wrinkles fading and getting younger.

“Happy Korea, post-mortem insurance for everyone. ”

The image of a flying Tai Lung when the ad is about to end.

“The campaign is joined by the Public Advertising Council, the National Pension Service, and the Post Insurance Corporation. ”
